(From the Literary Gazette.) Piece-meal, and very imperfect, we might say absurd, descriptions of the New Royal Palace in St. James's Park .having found their way into several newspapers, and been widely copied by the provincial press, we have taken as earli an opportunity as the state of the building allowed (when it was, so far advanced as to show distinctly what the whOle would be); to inspect its various. parts, and furnish, for the gratification of our readers, a correetaccount of this national work. It may be remembered that we had pre viously inserted a notice of the design, &e., but the altera tions since introduced, and now almost completed, will render the following nearly as new as we trust it will be thought interesting to the public. • The Palace, which is erected to its height, only wanting the balustrade, forms three sides of a quadrangle, the area being not far from equal, and forming a clear space of about 250 feet in diameter. The main feature is, of course, the central entrance, facing east, towards the canal and the Borse Guards. This is a portico, of two orders of archi tecture in height ; the lower is the Doric, copied from the Temple of Theseus at Athens, which may be readily called to mind by the engraving in Stuart'a celebrated work upon that city : the upper is the .Corinthian and much resembles that style m the Pantheon at Rome. This portico is so contrived, that, upon, the ground, carriages can drive through it; while, above, there is an open and spacious gallery, covered by a pediment on which statues are to be placed; and under which is a long panel, filled with figures in high relief. It is understood that this entrance is to be exclusively appropriated for the admission of Ilia Majesty and the Royal Family. The same order which is adopted in the lower parts of the portico (the Doric) is carried round the three sides of the court*. At each side of the portico, terminating the centre front, is a pavilion, where the orders are again ap plied ; surmounting which jean. attic, towering abov e th e other parts of the building, and decorated with pilasters and caryatides. At the angle on the Pimlico side, we observe, that the old octagon library of Buckingham-house haibeen suffered "to remain; the intention of the architect is men tioned to be to raise it considerably, and embellish it after the manner of the Temple of the Winds. At the opposite angle, namely, that towards Constitution-hill, there is a circular projection, for some internal purpose—which irre gularity is, we presume, attributable to the Parliamentary grant confining the architect to the old foundations. There are three tiers of windows, all having architec tural decorations; the middle tier having embossed friezes formed of oak• leaves and ribands. Over the pediment, or centre, will be seen a dome, which is, however, at the back of the Palace, over the state-chamb ers , w hi c h we s h a ll de scribe by and : for the present, we only mention it as completing the front view of the building as it will, appear from the Park. The north and south sidesof the quadrangle ate only two stories high. In/he centre of each there is also an en trance, over which is a turret, on one side for a clock, and on the other for a wind-dial. These are surmounted by ' figures of Time and. (we believe) ./Eolus. Again, at each extremity the building is raised, and roofed in a temple like form, presenting the ends towards the Park with en riched pediments. , The fronts of these wings have niches containing statues, with which other parts of the palace are also occas iona ll y stu dd e d. F rom wing to wing there will extend a circular and highly enriched railing; in the! centre of which, directly opposite to the grand entrance,-is to be placed the triumphal arch. Having thus endeavoured to convey an accurate idea of the Palace, as seen in the main front; . we will pass round by Pimlico, and describe the outsides of three other fronts. First, the south, towards Pimlico. Here we are presented with ,the general entrance to the Palace ; a concave circu lar lonic coloVnadc and lodges. The only other prominent feature on this side is the octangular tower which •we have already noticed;, thoremainder of this range being chiefly allotted to the domestic offices. Second—this brings us to the west front in th e gar d en , w hi c h i s ( o f course) the back of the centre building of the quadrangle. The outline of this is striking and . picturesque ; being boldly broken into massive forms,—projections which afford corresponding shadows and relief. • The centre of this front, is circular, embellished with columns of the Corinthian order, support ing.the dome already alluded to. Here also, from one projecting part to. another, level with the middle or prin cipal tier of windows, (1. e. those of the suite of state rooms), runs a stone balcony and balustrade, supported by corbels of a mixed character--Gothic and Italian, masks of chimera blended with wings and scrolls of foliage. ~ : But the most important on this side is an extensive terrace, from which there are descents by various flights of steps into the grounds. - The front of this terrace is. rus ticated, and has a balustrade, on the pedestals of which are placed vases of antique and classical models ; and at each extremity stands an open lonic temple, int en d e d to b e used as summer conservatoßes. Following this terrace , to the north, we thirdly, to the north front facing Picca dilly, anadlie broughtthat cba., sidering its appropriation, th e mos t i n teresting portion o f the Palace. Here are the liii li g t , aw 'a ia private ll apartments, an d cabinet-picture gallery. Arc hitectura lly of the same style and character with th y e garden-front, redeni-ft this is nt, just left, but of lighter proportions. It is well kno wn that his MajesMajesty ty has always preferred comparatively small andeornis pact apartments, to those of a more stately description ; and we need hardly add , that his good taste has b een con sulted in the arrangement of this division of the Palace. Here, also, we find the terrace continued, and the loni c temple conservatory balanced at the other extremity by a similar structure. Thus , h is Majesty's window s look out between three conservatories , up o n the flower-garden which is spread below. Our present object being rather to aid spectators on looking at the Palace, to form an idea of what it is, we shall not attempt to delineate its internal arrangements. we shall merely say, that on the principal floor of the F a e t ntre, between the east and west suites o f rooms, (the i l i ter brutg, as observed, those for state occasions), runs a (the whole length of tswPoielenienshdtioidsthrcoreovaenrd statue gallery n b uild ing) , which is to be lighted in a peculiar manner, every produetion of art that portion requisite for its perfect exhibition. The visiter is led to this in up the grand stairs, and through several rooms which colleetion w'll be disposed the King's rare and magni fi cent of armour.

The water winds round clumps of forest trees, which have been preserved for the purpose, and all that could be retained of the previously existing scene. It is supplied from a large circular reservoir (near the top of the hill at Hyde Park-corner), which is fed by a main from the Serpentine river. This reservoir, almost like a Roman work for magnitude, may, we think, be made It beautiful feature in the new gardens: here, indeed, we should like to see what London is so miserably deficient in —copious and refreshing fountains! At the south-west side of the garden is an artificial mount .t of superb di mensions, which has been thrown up t' ..sk the stables belonging to his Majesty at Pimlico. it - is covered with young trees and the larger species of shrubs, so disposed as to present from the Palace windows an appearance very similar to some of the lake scenery of Westmoreland and Cumberland, where its features are not upon the }greatest scale. While upon this subject, we may take the opportunity of setting the public right with respect to the erections now going on at Hyde Park, though totally. unconnected with the Palace or its grounds. The building at the cor ner of Grosvenor-place is simply a lodge for .St. James's Park, corresponding with that on the opposite side of the road for Hyde Park. The other building, between the latter lodge and the Duke of Wellington's house, is a tri umphal arch, to mark, in a more distinguished manner, the principal entrance to that fine park. BIRMINGHAM THEATRICAL COMPANY. (From the Birmingham Gazette.) The Members of the Company assembled under the management of Mr. Brunton, in order to testify their estimation of the disinterested and liberal conduct of Mr. Macready during his late visit, unanimously agreed to, and signed the following Address, which was presented to him immediately after his 'second ap pearance, in the character of Virginius, by Mr. Bel. lamy, stage-manager, on behalf of himself and the other members of the Company : " Theatre Royal, Birmingham, Aug. 24, 1826. " near Sir,—Your truly liberal and disinterested conduct to wards the head of the establishment of which we are members, has excited in us all so warm a feeling of admiration and esteem, that we are desirous before you quit your native land, of offering you our cordial thanks for your generosity, in which we all indirectly participate, and our best wishes for your health, prosperity,' and safe return. We honour the motives which have induced you to act as you have done upon the present occasion ; and we feel grateful to you, not only for this individual instance of kindness, hut for supporting by your example, both in public and private ►ife, the respectability of a profession which has been too much de graded by many who ought to have sustained its credit and character. "We regret that the British stage should lose you even for a short period, but earnestly hope your talents will be as justly ap preciated, and et , en more liberally rewarded, in the Titer World than they have been in Britain, and that you will shortly return with a large increase of fame and fortune. Accept the humble tribute of oar entire esteem, which we respectfully offer ; and in bidding you farewell, permit us to subscribe ourselves, "Dear Sir, your ♦ery obliged and faithful servants." "To W. Macready, Esq." (Signed by the whole Company.) In reply to this very appropriate anti flattering teati monial, Mr. Macready, who left town early on the following morning, addressed Mr. Bellamy as follows: " Royal Hotel, Cheltenham. "My dear Sir,—l return you and the ladies and gentlemen of the Birmingham Theatre my heartfelt acknowledgments for the kind ind flattering letter you put into my bands last night. If I did not feel honoured and gratified by expressions so full of 're gard, I must be insensible indeed. But you over-rate an act of ordinary good feeling —a far greater sacrifice than any I ran have made, would be more than compensated by your liberal eitimation of it. " The high compliment you offer me, in associating my name so proudly with the respectability of our profession, would make me too happy if I could believe it just ; but the credit you give me for desert, I can only assume for a disposition ambitious of descry ing. I am, therefore, be mews indebted to you, and through My life I shall treasure this friendly testimony of your approbation among its happiest enjoyments. • " Prom mp heart, I wish you generally, and individually, every success; and bearing with me this inestimable proof of your kind feeling towards me, as 4 monitor to stimulate my future efforts to merit it, again I thank you most sincerely, and bid you farewell.

IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. A Meeting of the Shareholders of this projected Coni pany was held yesterday at the offices of the Company, in Mark-lane. , On the motion that the clause in the deed of settlement be read, as respects the taking the chair. Mr. SCURB said he protested vaunt any perusal of the deed of settlement, 86 it might infer that the Shareholders, by such a step, considered themselves as being bound by the deed. The crunpany was an illegal one. Mr. CLARKE, and others, were of a - similar opinion. Mr. ASTON (a director) said, he was only anxious to gb on regularly. He begged to state that he was the only director present. Mr. CLARKE asked the reason of the absence of the other directors ? Mr. ASTON said he could not inform the meeting on that point. Mr. P. Moore bad just sent a note, request ing to know at what time the meeting was to tile place, but the person who brought it ran away without waiting for an answer. It was then moved and seconded, that Mr. Aston should take the Chair; and the motion being carried, that gentle man took his seat. . The CHAIRMAN, after a few observations, read the re port. •It commenced by stating, that the directors attri buted the various di ffi culties under which the Company laboured, to the non-payment of the calls made. The di-, Irectors entered into the concern with a firm conviction that a national benefit would accrue, if carried on with spirit. The monopoly existing in distillation is an evil that l affects the public at large; to obviate this monopoly the present company was formed. The application for shares amounted to 30,900—the number to form the company was 12,000-4,000 were reserved for parties more interested in the trade, 220 were reserved as qualifications of the di rectors, and 7,780 were divided between the applicants. The directors had never contemplated that they would have to 'call for the whole 501. on each share. In the early stage of the proceedings the . directors were in treaty with the proprietors of an estate, but the cost of which was 150,0004 The •Stanstead Distillery, at this period, was offered for sale at a sum not exceeding 30,0004, and the directors Iltought with an outlay of 15,000/., all the necessary improvements would be completed. 'The repeal of half the duty on spirits convinced the direc tors that, tinder such favourable circumstances, the share holders would have to come forward to support the undertaking. The scrip had produced 11,465/. ; the first call 5,530/. ; and the last only 2,110/. ;—making to gether 19,105/. The small amount received crippled the directors : they themselves have been the 'greatest suf ferers. The directors were convinced the concern might be carried on with adVantage. The capital necessary for the undertaking would be 100,0001. Towards that capital 19,1054 had been received : there had been expended 20,641/. Os. Id.; 28,735/. 16s. 9d. were due for contracts, and an additional expenditure of 2 or 3,0001. would render the works complete. The question for the proprietors to decide was, whether they would carry on a concern which would yield 10 percent. per annum, or whether they would sacrifice what they had paid, and be liable to further calls if any deficiency should arise by the sale of the property. If the previous course be adopted, the directors recom mend that the shares be reduced to. 4,000 of 251. each, the whole to be paid on or before the 30th September, without prejudice to the forfeited shares. The necessary sum would be thus raised to carry on the concern. The works the directors had purchased were sufficiently extensive to pro duce 220.000 gallons of spirits annually, which would afford a profit of about 20,000/. The CHAIRMAN stated, that he had no further Obierve-' tions'to make.' He was ready to answer any questions.— He wished to know whether the Report was to be re ceived. To a question froM Mr. Chitty, the Chairman stated that the directors had not all paid on their shares. Mr. CLARKE said, that Mr. Aston's- conduct was ho nourable in meeting the directors, while throughout these directors had acted-highly dishonourably. He observed, that the original prospectus stated that the Company was formed to do away with the monopoly of the malt distil lers, which so unjustly kept up the price of ardent spirits. It appeared that out of the 7,800 Alves divided among the public, only 2,295 had been paid uppn ; and the direc tors, in order to deceive the public give orders, on the day the first payment was to be fort h coming , for the pur chase of five hundred shares in,the market, and with this purchase the Company were charged.. The directors well knowing that with a capital leas. than 20,000/. they could not o on with the project, had no right to enter into engagements for the purchase of a distillery for 30,000/. It was the height of absurdity that they should have gone on increasing the liabilities of the Gampany. More than 22,000/.• had been expended, and there were liabilities to the extent of more than 28,0004 The Di rectors had said that they informed the Shareholders of the purchase of the premises, but this was all a system of trickery, as they did not tell them also the state of the funds. With respect to the appropriation of shares, he (Mr. Clarke) should like to see the share minute-book. • The CHAIRMAN stated, that as the Secretary was not present, he could not furnish that book: .. • In answer to a question, the . CHAIRMAN stated that there was a writ 'against the Secretary, and that accounted for his non-attendance. Mr. TAYLOR said he had' been • told that. the directors had pocketted various sums of money, but had returned them. The CHAIRMAN answered, there lvas no truth in the al legation, as the balance-sheet would prove. In answer to the inquiries of Mr. Clarke, it appeared that the shares allotted ....... _...,......,_ _ _ . To .. Mr. P. Moore, were . 50, and had paid on 10 Mr. Pigou - - ;. 7 00 , Mr. Cawthorne - - 50, - - - • - none Mr. Mackinnon - - 50, - _ _ . „ no Air. W. Ruud - - 50, - - - - none •• The above were all directors, and there were 100 shares allotted to Mr. Martineau, the engineer, which were not paid on; and 100 more to Mr. P. Taylor, the partner of Mr. I•lartineau, unpaid. Mr. Bosanquet paid the tint call only on .50 shares, and Mr. John Gray the same on 10 shares. , • .• d isi°ththeillgabrehtoilndjers, Mr. GRIFFITHS here stated, that, Mr. Martineau, as well towards had taken the as Mr. Taylor, would have paid , the amount called on their s h ar es, but on looking over the names in the prospectus, they did not like to • be associated with the individuals there Directors ' still thought when. itchaeivit:en d ro., ufticltsdtv ! ints Ki have belonging beienneg stat e d,t 41:01nt contemplated hhfeeema•wtdpioilrtafetcB the ev t da i ostnod pla in i would turn out produc tive.us- -1504, and the other at h h a eT r :i n : cc : s r: mi t: At : l allotted . fmatiriphhe:eramliydamdtahatg thee d, advanced Directors various other sums. 11r.

Some further discussion., a resolution was moved and seconded, that the mertinz do 'adjourn tin this (lay fortnight, with a request to the Directors that they would attend on that day.

Tuesday a numerous rnee►ing of the subscribers took place at the City of London Tavern, for tins purpose of receiving the report of the Committee appointed at the special general meeting of the Proprietors, held on the Bth of August, to confer with the Directors upon the best mode of providing the necessary means . for meeting the engagements of the Society : Dtvm Banc:LAY, Esq., in the chair. - . The CHAIRMAN, in reading the report of the Directors; which had been presented at the meeting of the 28th of August, took occasion-to observe, that whatever doubts might have before ekisted upon the subject of advanta geous operations in inines,. the latest accounts gave the strongest assurances of rapid progress; and that a little more perseverance would no• doubt secure all the advan tages originally anticipated. We understood the Chair man also to intimate, that the'contidence in the character of the Association would be increased by enabling the Di rectors to accept the bills which it had been found mice.s saty to draw. He then read the Committee's Report, which excited great deal of interest. Mr..SCHNEIDEtt could see that the CoMpeny had been brought into great panic by the want of proper enemy, but he trusted that now they would not any more be tied up as to the outlay of their capital. Mr. Schneider then detailed what had passid in the course of the deliberations in the Committee, and in observing upon some correspond ence which appeared in one of the daily papers on the Company's 'condition, he said, that replies to anonymous correspondents only produced unprofitable argument.— (Hear, hear.)--In alluding to the fall of the present slue of companies, he instanced the case of the St. Catherine's Mick Company, which had been conducted . in the most judicious and honourable manner, and was protected by Act or Parliament, notwithstanding which (we understood him to say) 400,0004 of the stock was considered as anni hilated to the interests of the proprietors. • A. Shareholder.—Are those persons who purchase the forfeited shares at 101. each, and agree to pay 501; each a twelvemonth hence, subject to the two calls to be made now? • ' The CliAlfiliA/4 replied in the negative. Such pureha3era were to be at no further expense. M...SALOP4ONS (a shareholder).—Am I to, understand that the two calls to be made now will clear away all the present incumbrances of the association ? The CHAIRMAN.—In the opinion of the directors, they will; but the directors do not pledge themselves to that extent Mr. SALOMONS.—Have the concerns of 'the coMpiny been so far examined as that it can be ascertained that the payment of those calls will have that effect ? ' Several of the directors said, certainly not. Mr. SAt.ostoks.- . --As to the accounts from Mexico, is it to he concluded that two calls of M. per share will remove theditlietaties that exist there ? The CHAtiotAN.—All present difficulties. The CHAIRMAN moved that the report should be received, A Shareholder stated, that he certainly agreed in the ne cessity of at once endeavouring to remove the pecuniary difficulties which existed at so distant *a scene of operation. He should wish to know from the solicitor of the company, how the 7th elauie of the deed had been ' carried' into ef fect, and whether legal 'evidence could be given Alit the sharea were forfeited. It did not appear to him at all pro bable that any dispute should arise upon the subject m a. court of law, but if by any accident he should be mistaken, it would he desirable that the company should have the law upon their side. He had heard that the letter. of notice had been put into a bag, given to a porter, and by him deposited in the Post-office. This surely was not suf. ficient. The difficulties were more complicated than was generally supposed, and the meeting ought not to proceed to the resolutions just put, without guarding against this possibility. It was, he must at the same time say, the only objection that presented itself to him. Mr. SCIINEiDER said, that. difficulty could be easily sat at rest. He expressed a hope that any gentleman in that meeting who had not paid up all his calls, would now come forward and do so. Mr. POWLES said, that the gentleman who had just ad dressed the meeting had advanced upon the most loose and untenable grounds, and spoken erroneously in all he had stated as to the forfeited shares. The Shareholder was convinced of the validity of his objection, notwithstanding this contradiction. Mr. T. Wtt.soN said, that if it was found that the ser vice was not legal, the notices could be sent round again. He wished now t o h ear some gentlemen say that they were ready to pay . up• the . deposits. It would give confi dence. He had closely attended to .the ReprirtOttid' he highly valued it. He Was not such an adMirer of the Di rectors .as to approvl of their conduct in letting the com pany so far into the. mire; without giving notice of their condition; but that condition was the effect of cireurn stances, and not of any impropriety on the part of the Di rectors. A greater confidence would have been inspired if the shares had been kept at par, but his was unabated, and If he had a larger number of Shares than he was at pre sent possessed of, he should not hesitate to pay on every one of them. A Shareholder said, thnt the loan of 150,000/. was wanted at the last meeting, and 'as it appeared that no more than 70,0001. was likely to he raised by the proposed measure, he should like to know what was to be done to supply the defici enc y ? We understood the answer to be, that reliance was placed upon the paying up of a great deal of the arrears. How much, the Shareholder asked, has been paid up since the last meeting ? Director—Upwards of goo/. If the whole of the ar rears are paid up, there will be occasion for no more th" two further calls. Mr. F. WILSON moved that the report should be printed for the benefit of the proprietors. This was agreed to, and the meeting separated. SINGULAR. PUNISIIMENT.---The Emperor of China, i n NM, convicted an eunuch of being con ,cerned in a treasonable consipraey. The ennui)) had been a servant of Keen• lung, the EmperOr's father, and had received many favours during a long stay in the I m perial Palace, the recollection of which, in con nexion with the eunuch's ungrateful treason, enraged the Monarch so, that he determined so destroy the miserable culprit by an unheard-of punishment. The m ode was this the eunuch was bound round with cords and canvas, to which was added a quantity of tallow and other combustible matter, to convert the wretch into' a candle, which was lit up and consumed at his father's grave.
